I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.

Lovely place. The last photo is very idyllic. And it makes me wonder what is around the bend in the river.
The Tarn is a lake fed by the Little Quaggy River through an inlet (to the left hand side of last photo). To the right is a small marshy area and beyond is The Royal Blackheath Golf Club’s course. According to maps there is also a small inlet here from a stream which crosses the golf course, but this is well hidden by a small area of reeds. The river flows through the Tarn and then exits into a culvert at the western end of the Lake and emerges near The Dutch House at Lee (about a mile away), just before it joins the River Quaggy.
The Quaggy then joins the River Ravensbourne at Lewisham, which in turn flows into the River Thames at Deptford Creek,
